Loch Ard Gorge

Reviewed By ogerkan - New York City, United States

Large site, with 3-4 walking trails to various lookout points all easily accessible from the parking lot We found the this section of the drive, near Port Campbell, to be the best part of the drive. Part of the shipwreck tour sections of the drive.

Island Arch Lookout

Reviewed By ET3121 - Greater Melbourne, Australia

Great place to come before you head down to Loch Ard Gorge beach. Offers breathtaking views. One of 3-4 great lookouts that are easy walks from carpark

3. Twelve Apostles

Twelve Apostles

Experience the awesome natural beauty of the world-famous Twelve Apostles. Rising abruptly from the tempestuous Southern Ocean, these seven limestone stacks are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. They are best viewed at sunset when the yellow rock turns red, orange and every shade in between.

Reviewed By vsop-50 - Vlijmen, The Netherlands

Great views and photo opportunities. Busy place, big parking lot, many tourists visiting (and we were there on a quiet day with foul weather). So fight your way towards the edge of the viewing platforms, stand your ground between all the selfie sticks and photograph one of Australia's great coastal views. After all, they may not be there much longer.

Apostle Whey Cheese

Dairy farmers Julian and Dianne Benson launched Apostle Whey Cheese on October 29, 2005. Since that day, Apostle Whey Cheese has taken out a number of major cheese awards and become an important tourism drawcard for the region. Just a short drive from the Twelve Apostles and the Great Ocean Road, Apostle Whey Cheese is a genuine paddock to plate operation.

Reviewed By Littlefarm - Tumbi Umbi, Australia

For a $1 a person you could taste 12 different types of cheese all made by Apostle whey. Not fancy in their approach but great cheese! They know and produce lots cheese rather than simply sell cheese made by various farms in Vic and SA. Not only that but our visit also coincided with the late afternoon milking of the cows which was a wonderful experience for our toddler to see in the shed next door. All 4 of our children enjoyed making their own flavoured milk with the Apostle Whey milk they sold there as well. All in all it was one of our favourite stops on the 12 Apostles Gourmet trail. Not fancy but very real with friendly people. A very family friendly place!!!!

Gibsons Steps

Reviewed By beno2028 - Warilla, Australia

The Gibson steps have a gate approximately 100 metre down the stair case which was locked on our visit and as it is only safe to assess the beach at low tide and in good weather I can only assume this was down for safety reasons. However you can still get a good view despite the gate closure

7. The Grotto

The Grotto

Reviewed By PhilMalone - Footscray, Australia

This attraction is definitely one you don't want to miss out of the all the attractions on the Great Ocean Road. If you are short on time make sure you include this one. It is a short walk from the carpark down stairs and offers a few different vantage points to get some good photos. The reflection in the Grotto's waters with the wild sea in the background makes for an excellent photo.

Mutton Bird Lookout

Reviewed By CodyMav - Gold Coast, Australia

Just west and an easy walk from Loch Ard Gorge, Mutton Bird Island is an excellent formation with a very well setup viewing platform. Watching the waters flow into and out of teh arch is mezmerising. Make the extra effort to see this while you are at Loch Ard. You won't be dissapointed

Tom And Eva Lookout

Reviewed By ET3121 - Greater Melbourne, Australia

Located to the left of Loch Ard gorge and a quick 5 minute walk from the carpark. The lookout is located halfway to the Razorback lookout. TIP: no stairs involved and one of the few lookouts (along with Razorback) that is great for the people with limited mobility
